Just as we suspected: SVT Raptor minus 1980s decals = More awesome

Filed under: Performance, Truck, Ford, Specialty

If you read some of the model-specific buff books like Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords (raises hand), you’re probably familiar with Latemodel Restoration Supply, which always has a multi-page ad in the mag touting its wares. Earlier this week, a shiny new Ford F-150 SVT Raptor visited the retailer’s HQ. Photos were taken and posted to Flickr, where we saw them and decided they were definitely worth sharing. The Raptor is interesting on three levels. First off, it’s a Raptor. Secondly, it’s finished in Blue Flame — a color that looks extremely good on this truck. (Frankly, we’re tired of seeing the orange ones.) Finally, this particular machine rolls without the cheesy, ’80s-looking factory bed-side graphics package. End result: a Raptor that’s clean and mean. Clearly, this is the way to do it.
